    My situation is basically that i'm sexually attracted to guys but emotionally attracted to girls and i can't find the combination to make anything work

    With girls i can be aroused around them so long as we have an emotional connection and therefore same sex relationships are easier for me. But i'm not remotely aroused by pictures of women or whatever. With guys i can get off to them in porn or whatever but i can't form emotional connections with them. I tried dating 'femme' guys but i just felt very uncomfortable with them. Also attempted to date a straight-acting guy but i only really saw him as a friend. I couldn't be myself emotionally with him

    I just dunno what to do in this situation. It's like i have no desire for women until i get to know them, then i feel desire. But i do have desire for men until i get to know them, then i feel nothing. I don't even know whether this makes me gay or bisexual or what. Feel very out of place and depressed about my whole situation

    Hey man, welcome to EC. Don't worry it sounds like your in a similar situation to my own(Though I am still closeted).

    Don't worry, we all have times in our life when we try to find that special someone and sometimes it's hard. Just keep your head up. Do what you think makes you happy and keep searching. I don't know how old you are but there are many opportunities to come in your lifetime that will help broaden your horizons. When the do come. . .well. .Carpe Diem.

    I pity the fool who gives the OP bad advice!

    ...hey, someone had to do it. :slight_smile:

    What do you do? Nothing. Just keep on keeping on. Date whomever you'd like. Have sex with them or not, as you see fit. Eventually, you'll click with somebody. :slight_smile:

    Being friends with your bf isn't such a bad thing, you know. Just give yourself time. It might take some time to establish an emotional attachment to someone - especially one that is going to last. It's tough to be in love with someone that you don't like to just 'hang' with. So don't sweat it. The right guy will come along, if that's what is meant to be.
